Description

Option 1 - Long Pass
1. First player leaves line and skates through the cones as shown.
2. Next player in line fires a hard, stick-to-stick, cross-ice pass.
3. First player receives pass, skates up around the NZ cone, and fires a shot on net.

Option 2 - Short Pass
1. First player leaves and does a tight turn around the first cone.
2. Next player in line floats a "saucer pass" over the stick and onto the stick of the receiver.
3. First player skates up around the NZ cone, and fires a hard shot on net.

Notes: On the Long Pass, make sure to time your whistles so players aren't skating in front of shots. Be sure to keep a quick whistle pace during this drill.
